Earnest the Duck with the Wide Feet

Do you have something about yourself you wish you could change?
Earnest did. Earnest hated his wide feet. They weren''t just a little wide, they were extra wide. Earnest felt like summer wasn''t summer if you never got to wear a pair of sandals. He couldn''t wiggle his toes in his sneakers, there was barely enough room. His dreams of ever wearing sandals like his friends did every summer, was just that a dream. Why him? Why did he have to be so different, and have such weird feet? Earnest felt like it was no use in wishing for sandals to fit him, since it was hereditary. He was just about to give up. Then one day, Earnest met Stanley.
